Myths & Deeds
The Tale of the Twins
Maestra and Da'ir are the Twin Gods of Magic, separated in the Age of Creation. Many stories are told of how the Twins were lost to one another, but what all agree is that the ordered Maestra forever follows the unruly Da'ir.
One story tells that in the Age of Creation, the Twins worked together, Da'ir discovering and Maestra perfecting. However, when the magic of the The First Dragon was released into the world in the The Splintering, the Source was infused in Da'ir while Maestra harnessed and ordered the Weave. Da'ir was blinded by the immense power but gained immense power from the Source. Though powerful, Da'ir lost her direction and was scattered to edges of the world. After learning to control the Weave, Maestra began to search for her sister, doomed to never find her. For where order goes, chaos shifts.
Another story claims that when magic was released into the world during the The Splintering, Maestra and Da'ir both flourished, the magic granting them power and purpose. The Twins worked with one another, each learning to use the magic in their own way. However, when Maestra harnessed the world's magic and ordered it into the Weave, its constraints caused Da'ir to wither and weaken, even to the point of losing her sight. The Twins fought and in their battle part of the Weave was severed and released into the Source. Taking the Source for herself, Da'ir moved into the farthest edges of the world to be forever chased by her sister.
Another story still claims that following the The Splintering Da'ir, being the force of innovation, did many great works with the Source. Maestra, growing jealous of her sister, stole her eyes and used them to see the Weave within the Source.
